Monthiversary Date Night

To celebrate our September monthiversary on the 22nd, we headed to our favorite local spot: The Farm.  Yes, we know it's not "news" anymore if we go here, but we did try some new dishes worth sharing.

The special appetizer of the night was a thinly sliced cured beef topped with greens, pickled cherries, and green tomatoes.  We weren't sure what to expect, but the flavor combination of the sliver of beef and nicely dressed salad was fabulous.

Then DJ opted for another special of the day:  the pork chop.  Verdict?  Cooked to perfection.  Just the right amount of juicy, savory goodness.

Mel went for one of her favorites:  the summer squash with polenta cakes.  Yum!
We were going to skip dessert, but then the waitress described one of them so nicely we just couldn't resist.  lol   I mean, you have someone tell you that a chocolate cherry brownie with pannacotta is available and see if you can say no!  And we were right to follow the temptation:  delicious!  Although, interestingly enough we detected a bit of salt in each bite.  Maybe to counter the double sweetness of chocolate and cherries?  Perhaps we need to start watching Top Chef: Just Desserts!
